A hydrodynamic model of electron solvation in polar liquids is suggested. The electron is assumed to be localized within a spherical cavity in an ideal incompressible liquid. The solvation process is modelled by the contraction of the cavity size to its equilibrium value. The contraction dynamics ar

## Abstract Using molecular dynamics simulation, we present new results for the free energy of solvation for solvents with low dielectric constants (CCl~4~, CHCl~3~, benzene). The solvation free energy is computed as the sum of three contributions originated at the cavitation of the solute by the s
## Abstract __The solvation of tetramethylammonium chloride (Me~4~NCl) and tetraβ__n__βbutylammonium chloride (Bu~4~NCl) in waterβacetonitrile mixtures was investigated by mass spectrometry of clusters isolated from the solution. As far as the positive ions are concerned, clusters composed of alkyl
The effect on solvation dynamics and energetics of the length and charge distribution of a model linear solvent has been determined. Solvent clustering around the ion is independent of the solvent molecule length if the solvent dipole terminus is attracted to the charged solute. In contrast, if they
